It might sound like a bit of a cliche, but this villa can only be described as a “unique hideaway”. It was originally a fisherman´s house in the heart of the Saco do Mamangua, near Paraty. It has been sensitively and tastefully restored by well-known Brazilian architect, Thiago Bernardes. It is unique in that it goes beyond the traditional concept of luxury of five-star hotels.
Luxury in this villa, is the privilege of being surrounded by some of the most beautiful, pristine and untouched scenery in Brazil…this is a piece of paradise which affords visitors total privacy. Luxury in this villa is spending time in a place with no electricity but which uses a modern generator that makes no noise. Luxury in this villa is its simplicity, while also providing all the comforts you need: Internet, comfortable beds, hot showers and the most delicious food cooked by the villa´s talented cook.
As well as the restauration of the original fisherman´s house, the villa now has two extra en-suite bedrooms housed in two annexes surrounded by lush rainforest. There is a central living area with a kitchen, sitting room and TV room which can also be made into an en-suite bedroom, as well as a warehouse with a further two bedrooms. All rooms face the pristine, crystal-clear sea. In order to enjoy the many beaches and islands, it is also possible to rent one of the local fishing boats.
This is a must villa in our portfolio precisely because of its uniqueness… something we value and believe in at Matueté.
